639: She Said She Couldn't Live Without Him!

She Said She Couldn't Live Without Him!

A huge truck had crashed into them, but they recovered completely in less than half a month.1

Qiao Xi had only suffered light injuries, and there were no further problems after she woke up. But Gu Zheng had suffered heavy injuries. His shoulder blade was pierced by a steel rod. At that time, he had guessed that it would take at least half a year for Gu Zheng to fully recover. However, it had only been half a month now, yet Gu Zheng had more or less recovered. It was just that the wound on his shoulder hadn't completely healed, so he still had to be careful.

Qin An stared at Qiao Xi for a moment before his eyes darkened. He could not help but remind her, "The two of you can be discharged now, but you have to take care of your health when you return home."

Seeing Qin An's departing figure, Gu Zheng looked up and asked, "Why is Qin An staring at you? What are you hiding from me?"

Qiao Xi's heart shook. "Nothing…"

He hadn't finished speaking when Qiao Xi fell into a scorching embrace.

Gu Zheng's shoulder was injured, and he pulled her into his embrace with one hand. He suppressed the sorrow in his heart and said with a hoarse voice, "Qiao Xi, this is the last time. I won't allow you to harm yourself anymore, even if it's for my sake!"

Qiao Xi looked up in surprise. She knew that with Gu Zheng's intelligence, he must have known that she had used her blood to save him. He just held it in and did not say anything.

She leaned into Gu Zheng's arms and listened to his intense heartbeat. She choked and said, "Ah Zheng, I really can't watch you get poisoned!"

Gu Zheng, who had always been calm, was also trembling all over. He gritted his teeth and said, "I know what the consequences will be if you use your blood to save me. I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me."

Qiao Xi looked up, her eyes filled with sparkling tears. "You know everything, but you don't know that the thing Grandfather regrets the most in his life is not detoxifying Miss Lu's poison back then. He has been regretting it his entire life. Gu Zheng, can you bear to let me live in pain for the rest of my life?"

Tears flowed down her cheeks, and Qiao Xi's voice was firm. "Gu Zheng, I can't live without you. Besides, I'm still standing in front of you while my body isn't affected in the slightest. As for what happens in the future, who can tell? We just have to enjoy the present."

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at her tears. For the first time, he had a taste of heartache. It was an indescribable feeling. He was both touched and heartbroken. It made his eyes sting.

She said that she could not live without him!

"President…" Song Shiyu suddenly barged in. The first thing he saw was the two of them hugging each other tightly, and he immediately swallowed his words.

Gu Zheng looked up slightly, his eyes filled with displeasure. Didn't the assistant he hired know how to knock on the door? Why did he always barge in and ruin the mood?

Song Shiyu noticed that the president was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze and quickly reported, "President, Chairman Gu has been released. The mastermind has been found!"

There wasn't the slightest bit of surprise in Gu Zheng's eyes. He slowly let go of Qiao Xi and gestured for Song Shiyu to continue.

"But the mastermind is dead. That person is…" Song Shiyu paused, looked at Qiao Xi, and continued, "Qiao Rou!"

Qiao Xi's eyes widened. "What?"

Song Shiyu repeated, "It's Qiao Rou. All the clues and evidence point to Qiao Rou. And after the DNA comparison, we confirmed that the woman in the truck was Qiao Rou. She was the one who hit your car with the truck."

Qiao Xi frowned. At that time, the situation was critical and they weren't in their right minds to look at the murderer's face. All they could think about was how to avoid the fatal blow. She never would have thought that the person driving the truck was actually Qiao Rou.

What was even more shocking was that Qiao Rou was dead?

Song Shiyu's face was gloomy. "But there are still many unexplainable problems. For example, how did Qiao Rou cut the brake line? How did she know your whereabouts? And how did she confirm that you would drive to the city at that time? If she didn't have help, she wouldn't have been able to do this. But all the clues point to Qiao Rou now. Chairman Gu was detained for seven days, but there's no new evidence."

Qiao Xi said, "I suddenly remembered that Lu Yan had once worn a watch that was given to him by Qiao Rou. They must have been involved long ago."
